You they got me trapped in this prison of seclusion Happiness, living on the is a delusion Even a smooth criminal one day get caught Shot up or shot down with the that he bought millimeter kickin' thinking about what the streets do to me
'Cause they never talk peace in the community All we is violence, do the job in silence Walk the city like a rat pack of tyrants Too many brothers daily for the big pen Niggas commin' out worse off then they went in Over the years I done a lot of up Gettin' thrown' up up Then I I had enough There must be route, way out To money and fame, I changed my And played a game Tired of being trapped in this cycle If one more cop harassed me I just go psycho And I get 'em hit 'em with the bum rush Only a lunatic like to see his skull crushed Yo, if smart you'll really let me go 'G' But me cooped up in this ghetto and catch the Uzi got me trapped
(Uh uh, can't keep the black man down) got me trapped (Naw, can't keep the black man down) (Uh uh, they can't the black man down) (Naw, they can't keep the man down)
They got me Can walk the city streets Without a cop me, searching me Then asking my up, throw me up against the wall Didn't do a at all I'm tellin' you one day these gotta fall Cuffed up me on the concrete try to kill me But they didn't this was the wrong street Bang bang, down another But a cop who's shot there's brutality Who do you a shame because the mans slain He got caught in the chains of his own How can I feel guilty after all the things did to me me, hunted me Trapped in my own One day I'm bust up on this society Why did ya lie to me? I couldn't a trace of equality Work me like a slave while they back Homie play that time I lett 'em suffer the payback I'm to avoid physical contact I can't back, it's time to attack jack got me trapped
(Uh uh, they can't the black man down) got me trapped (Naw, can't keep the black man down) (Uh uh, they can't keep the man down) (Naw, can't keep the black man down)
Now I'm trapped and want to a getaway All I is a 'G' and somewhere safe to stay use the phone 'Cause I'm someone is tappin' in Did it Ain't scared to use my gat I look back at hindsight the fight was But now he's the devils Too to be tellin' him He shot first and I'll be damned if I run Homie is done away I should of put my gun I wasn't thinkin' all I heard was the Girlies was laughin', Tup "Damn homies is dissin' you" I my weapon Started in the hurricane I got shot so I Feelin' a burst of Got to my see nothin' but bloody blood Now I'm a fugitive to be hunted like a Ran through an Still lookin' for my Coppers said Freeze, or be dead today Trapped in a Dark and I couldn't see the Thoughts in my mind was the and a better life do I do? Live my life in a prison I'd rather die then be trapped in a hell got me trapped
